​​DuroMax XP4400E Review

The DuroMax XP4400E came boxed in a flimsy looking container but thankfully; sufficient foam padding meant that it was still intact. The handles and wheels ship separately and you need to assemble them together using tools provided onboard the generator. Now, usually I find generators a hard bit of equipment to operate the first time around but that was not what I experienced with the DuroMax XP4400E at initial startup. It purred into life with ease and all you need to remember is to shut off the choke button when starting. A little black puff of smoke comes out each time you start it but once you pull the choke to full-on and let the engine settle down a little, the smoke and noise disappears. Do remember to shut down the choke later on.

Is the DuroMax XP4400E powerful? Well in comparison with plenty other $600 plus generators, this is definitely way more powerful than its class. With an option of 120 Volt full power operation and choice to provide 240 Volt output for specific gadgets, I was able to operate my refrigerator, air conditioner and microwave all at the same time without worrying about overloading or power surges. Basically, it’s a generator meant for the domestic market where folks seldom know how to operate or take care of their generators. Be sure to stick to the precautions mentioned in the operations manual such as the kind of oil and fuel to use depending on the climate and usage pattern.

The DuroMax XP4400E is a great example of everything the DuroMax XP4400 Series can bring to the table. This is a perfect generator for anyone who is serious about keeping their family safe and secure, in the event of a natural disaster or other emergency. When the power stops, this generator is going to kick in.

This is a powerful generator, to be sure. At the same time, it is also a durable model with a stellar reputation for being extremely straightforward in its usage. At fifty percent maximum output, you can expect this unleaded gas-powered generator to run for eight hours.
